The official bimbo of Egypt

Sherien Reda ,  the ex-wife of Amr Diab and daughter of legendary chorographer Mahmoud Reda as well as the occasional actress is the official bimbo of Egypt !!
Sherien Reda : The Revolution coalition rules Egypt now !!
Sherien Reda : The Revolution Youth coalition rules Egypt now !!!!!!!
These are the rulers of Egypt now !!
I do not know what youth coalition is ruling Egypt now !! The disaster if Sherien thinks SCAF is the revolution coalition youth !!
Sherien also denied the rumors that she was married to Gamal Mubarak for 7 years indirectly.
It is worth to mention that Sherien married for couple of years  Sultan Kamal Adham , the son of the famous Saudi Spy chief Kamal Adham. What is more interesting is that that TV host interviewing Reda is none other than Tamer Abdel Manam. Tamer Abdel Manam is Farid El Deeb’s son in law and the son of Mohamed Abdel Manam , the former Mubarak’s press secretary. These are facts
Sherien Reda is an official Mubarak’s supporter and despite her ex-husband Amr Diab is trying his best to save his career from being Alaa Mubarak’s friend for a long time. I respect Reda’s honesty nevertheless.
I believe unlike any other revolution in the world the so-called opponents of the revolution in Egypt are very lucky , in fact they are the luckiest in the history of revolutions and this can be a good sign especially our quest is freedom expression still enough is enough.
Anyhow thank God that Mubarak’s main supporters in the media are none other than : Talaat Zakaria , Amr Mustafa , Tawfik Okasha and Ahmed Zpider along with Sherien Reda. 

Libyan Revolution : Aisha Qaddafi’s baby boom !!

In 1986 with her dad 
The Algerian authorities announced yesterday that Aisha Qaddafi has delivered a baby girl yesterday in Algeria after less than 24 hours from her arrival along with 30 members of Qaddafi clan including her mom and 2 of her brothers. According to the Algerian press the Algerian president let the Qaddafi clan enter the country after knowing that Aisha was giving a baby.
Now there is something interesting I found thanks to tweeps , in early June 2011  Aisha Qaddafi filed a complaint before Belgian courts for war crimes against NATO after the raid of the alliance that allegedly killed her younger brother Seif Al Arab Qaddafi. This news included a very interesting detail because in that complaint Aisha claimed that the NATO raid on April 30,2011 killed her 4  months baby girl “Mastoura” along with her brothers’ kids “Seif” and “Carthage”
This was an official complaint that was rejected by the court in Belgium on July 28th. Interestingly enough here is an interview with Aisha Qaddafi after the alleged attack in French and she did not seem pregnant to me.
Aisha Qaddafi : Where is the baby bump ?
Before that raid and that interview Aisha addressed the public in a stupid speech if you remember , I searched in her photos to see if there is any baby bump and honestly I can’t judge based on the photos as she is tall and slim.
Is this a baby bump

Still how could Aisha Qaddafi have a 4 months baby in April 2011 and later gave a birth to another baby in August 2011 !? Either she hires surrogate mothers or there is another option : There is no Mastoura or there is new baby girl born in Algeria or may be there is Mastoura but there is no new baby girl. Of course there is another crazy explanation : She got two wombs , oh yes there are women who got two wombs !!!
May be baby Mastoura and her uncle Seif Al Arab along his kids are still alive just like his adopted sister Hana whom the Libyans are insisting that she is alive after 25 years of Qaddafi’s claims that she was killed.
Libya has demanded officially Algeria to hand over these runaways.

Ramadan Arabian Nights 2011 : Prince Amber and Princess Sukar {6,7,8}

Ok boys and girls here is our last  night with Ramadan Arabian nights 2011 , our last night with Prince Amber and Princess Sukar as well.

If you forget what happened in our tale last time then you can refresh your memory by going back and check out the last episodes.

Here is the 6th part of our tale , tale of Prince Amber and princess Sukar.

Amber reaches out to the new world to find another kingdom with another king. King Sharshamon of that new world kingdom also is amazed with that man beyond the sea and decides to hear his story. Impressed by his education and eloquence , Sharshamon decides to appoint Amber as his right hand minister despite Amber wants to find a way back to his land and to his beloved Sukar.

The king also remembers his son , the crown prince who also disappeared in the sea and sees him in Amber.

Now to the 7th part of our tale

Amber is now the right hand minister of king and yet he wants to return back to his kingdom on the other side of the world. The king’s niece is plotting against and is trying to lure Amber but fails to do it. The king suddenly dies in strange circumstances and it turns out that the king’s niece is behind it but no one can prove it. The priest of the kingdom reads the king’s will and according to Amber is crowned as the king till the return of the crown prince. Amber finds a magical wand at the kingdom’s treasury. That magical wand is like a magical lamp with a Jinni inside it. It is worth to mention that he finds with the help of the Jinn that helped his father in the beginning of the tale. This wand or rather that Jinni helps Amber to arrest the evil princess at the same time the crown prince returns to restore his crown. As a reward the new king gives Amber a ship whose crew decided to turn against him in the middle of the sea.

Now to the 8th part of our tale , our last night in Ramadan 2011.

The crew of the ship decided to steal Amber and throw him in the sea but luckily he got the magical wand and was able to teach them a lesson not to mess with him. Amber is back to his kingdom to find the people of treason has attacked it and kidnapped his beloved princess to their castle. Again the magical wand and its jinni to rescue , Amber saves the kingdom , the princess and the day after being absence for years. King Gasoor rewards him by not only his daughter’s hand but also the crown of the kingdom.

I am sorry but there are missing parts in the old recording.

Insh Allah next year we will have new Ramadan Arabian nights that you will love.

Scheherazade is waiting for next Ramadan insh Allah. 

Libyan Revolution : Libya Will celebrate the Eid Tomorrow

Despite Qaddafi is no longer ruling Libya , our dear neighbor country is not celebrating the Eid with us as it will celebrate it tomorrow. Of course the Libyan astronomers can be right. Anyhow Libyans are celebrating the Eid earlier this month with the ousting of Qaddafi or rather his escape. Of course the real Eid for them is when Qaddafi is caught or killed.
Yesterday Algeria admitted officially that the 31 members of the Qaddafi clan including his wife Safia , his daughter Aisha , his sons Mohamed and Hannibal crossed the borders yesterday after waiting for the Algerian authorities’ approval for nearly 12 hours. The members of Qaddafi clan were granted a special pass by Algerian president Bouteflika especially that no one among this caravan is wanted by the ICC and Aisha Qadddafi is pregnant in her 9th month. The Algerian press claims that Aisha Qaddafi’s health condition was critical and this was why the Algerian president allowed them to enter the country. Also there were many children allegedly “Qaddafi’s grandchildren” in the caravan.
Allegedly the Qaddafis are currently allowed to stay in Illizi province in South East Algeria and are not allowed to stay in the Capital Algiers . Aisha Qaddafi has reportedly given birth to a baby girl today in Djanet district. By the way did you see the video of her wedding ? Did you see Suzanne Mubarak and Heidi Raskh in the wedding  ?
Despite that Hannibal El Qaddafi and his wife Aline Skaf are not wanted from the ICC but what they had done to Shwegya Mullah is enough to incriminate them.”Graphic content”

This is not the first time Hannibal and Aline involve in torturing a maid , we all remember when the Libyan Swiss crisis when they were convicted of torturing their maid in 2008.
Aline Skaf 
It seems that Hannibal and his wife are true sadistic couple. Aline Skaf is a former Lebanese model whom I could not find an appropriate photo to share except that one. Thanks to the Lebanese tabloids we know that Aline’s relation was unsurprisingly violent with ups and downs. Allegedly she claims that she married him in 2003 after being his girlfriend for a while.She gave birth to Hannibal jr. in 2005 their first child in 2005.  That year was a touch one for Aline as she was reportedly beaten badly Hannibal in Paris then he gave her couple of millions then she gave birth to Hannibal jr. !!  In 2008 Hannibal and Aline returned back to the attention of the tabloid world when he had beaten her in London in December 2009 at the Claridges hotel. Hannibal broke her nose on that day and the police was called by the hotel because of Aline’s screams in the luxury suite. There is no doubt that Skaf herself is a victim of abuse.
Aline Skaf tried to return back to Lebanon during the revolution but the Lebanese authorities refused to allow her jet to land in the airport.
The Qaddafis and their women are true treasure for psychiatrists indeed !! I feel like Adel Hammouda !!
Now Sky News reported that the last time Qaddafi was seen in Tripoli was last Friday before heading to Southern desert. Khamis El Qaddafi was reportedly killed for the 4th time this year and the second time in less than a week !!  No one will believe that Khamis El Qaddafi is really killed except when there is a video or a photo that says so.
Anyhow here is a video showing the famous tent of Qaddafi in Bab Al Aziziyah set on fire.
Tripoli : Setting the tent of Qaddafi on fire
Another video you will be interesting to see is Mutassim El Qaddafi’s palace in Ain Zara area.
Tripoli : Al Mutassim El Qaddafi palace
Despite it was torched and looted you can imagine how luxurious it is based  on its classic Italian style. Of course I do not understand that prince of Persia : Warrior with in wall mural !!!!! I hate these gold domes at the building. That glass dome pad that looks as it sprang from some kind Sci-Fi is more than interesting and stylish.
The photos of Qaddafi’s private jet are online hit, to be honest I do not find the photos are quite shocking but bit of vulgar.
The NTC has given the Pro-Qaddafi till Saturday to surrender in peace.
Now despite I hate to share bad news in the Eid yet I can’t ignore the distributing news that not less than 150 Egyptians have been killed on the hands of Qaddafi troops in the jail from torture since last March for now reason except that they are Egyptians !!
BY the way till when the foreign media will refer to the Libyan people who stood against Qaddafi as rebels !!?

Eid greetings from Dr. ElBaradei and other presidential candidates as well

Now speaking about Eid greetings.
This was the first Eid greetings I have seen so far from Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei.

ElBaradei’s Eid Message
Dr. ElBaradei congratulates us in Egypt , he is currently abroad but he will come back after the Eid to start a new local tour in Upper Egypt. Dr. ElBaradei will start his tour with Aswan insh Allah. I love the message of ElBaradei ,it is full of hope and optimism.
And to prove that Dr. ElBaradei’s supporters and fans are not fanatic to the level of “have their own Ultras” here is a compilation of greetings by  other presidential candidates on twitter.
Dr. Amre Mousa sent his greeting in 3 tweets. The first tweet was about how he expressed his warmest wishes for the citizens of Egypt asking God to return back the feast on Egypt when we achieve milestones in democracy and reform.
The second tweet he expresses his warmest wishes for the Islamic and Arab nations while the third tweet he sends a special greeting to the families of the revolution and Sinai martyrs. 

تقدم بتحية خاصة الى اهالى شهداء الثورة وشهداء سيناء. ادعو للشهداء بالرحمة ولنا جميعا حسن العزاءMon Aug 29 12:43:11 via web

Of course we will see his pictures tomorrow eating cookies with some working class family in some popular country and giving the Eidia money to children.
Dr. Abdel Manam Abu El Fatouh is a bit formal as he congratulates the Egyptian , Arab and Islamic nations in a small message in his official website. Former Lt.General Magdy Hatata was also a bit formal in his greetings posted in his official Facebook page just like Abu El Fatouh except that he added that he wishes that next Eid the country will be stable and secure under a wise leadership and strong constitution based on fair democratic basis.
Hamdeen Sabhi congratulated the nation with beautiful words.

نحتفل بأول عيد فطر بعد الثورة نشعر فيه بحريتنا وكرامتنا بفضل دماء شهدائنا الأبرار. التهنئة والتحية لكل أمهات وأسر الشهداءMon Aug 29 17:43:53 via web
We are celebrating the first feast after the revolution , we feel our freedom and dignity thanks to the blood of our martyrs. Greetings to the martyrs’ families and martyrs.
Of course tomorrow there will be pictures of our candidates while praying among people the Friday prayers. I apologize if I did not include other potential presidential candidates' greetings.
Now SCAF has issued a new message, the long waited message no. “73” :
SCAF , the Egyptian army , its officers and soldiers express their sweet wishes and congratulations to the great Egyptian people in the blessed Eid , may God return it on our beloved Egypt with welfare and blessing.
PM Sharaf congratulated field marshal Tantawy , Lt. general Sami Anan and the Egyptian people "in that arrangement". The ministry of interior did not congratulated the Egyptian people.
Now in the end I would like to share this tweet from Egyptian writer Belal Fadl on his twitter account :

وإنتو بتعيدوا على أهالي الشهداء ماتنسوش أبدا الشهيد المبتسم ادعوا له ولكل شهداءنا اللي ادوا لمصر أول عيد في تاريخها من غير فرعونMon Aug 29 20:11:46 via web
Do not forget when you congratulate the families of the martyrs  the face of the first smiling martyr  , pray for him and all our martyrs who gave Egypt the first time in her history a feast without a pharaoh.
There is an initiative only adopted by the famous Kolena Khaled Said Facebook group to call and congratulate the mothers of the martyrs in Egypt. 

Happy Eid 2011 Everybody :)

Happy Eid to all Muslims around globe , tomorrow is officially the Eid in Egypt and a number of Arab countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan so far.
I am expecting that amazingly Libya will celebrate the feast on the same time like us for the first time without Qaddafi , of course Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen are celebrating the feast without their dictator rulers since 3 decades. “In case of Libya we are speaking about 4 decades of the most worst kinds of forced presidential cult”
The 1432 Higir year :)
I will not comment on whether the Eid should be Wednesday on Tuesday because I do not have enough knowledge to speak about it , I do not care about that fight over spaces between the Muslim brotherhood and Salafists but what I care is that I hope we all enjoy this feast , the first feast in the first glimpse of freedom in the Arab world insh Allah. 
Say Eid Saeed “Happy Eid” and Not “Eid Mubarak”
My heart and mind is with our people in Syria and Somalia. My special Eid greetings to the families of our martyrs not in Egypt but in the Arab world , my special Eid greetings to our wonderful doctors currently in Somalia doing their best in saving their Somali brothers , my special Eid greetings to our brothers and sisters in Syria , my special Eid greetings to our brothers in Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and Bahrain.
My greetings to all Muslims around the globe.
Eid Saeed again and again insh Allah.

Ramadan Arabian Nights 2011 : Prince Amber and Princess Sukar {3,4,5}

I will not apologize but seriously it was out of my hand especially with all these updates and news from Egypt , Libya and Syria. Already I do not think that Scheherazade would not be able to make her king awake all night to hear her tales when his kingdom’s neighbor kingdoms face revolutions like Egypt, Libya and Syria. 

Now you missed 3 nights from Prince Amber and Princess Sukar , here they are and they are full of events and lessons. First to be in the loop , you should check the previous nights.

The 3rd night from “Prince Amber and princess Sukar”

Amber and Sukar were taught by the vizier till princess Sukar became a young lady and her father though she was educated enough. As expected Sukar and Amber became lovers and Amber got an amazing gift , he plays the flute wonderfully to the level that he speaks in “flute language” that only his father , the Vizier understands. Now the king’s cousin , king Mansour sent him a message : His kingdom is under attack from “The terror people” who got no home , everybody hates them and were welcomed in his kingdom "The honey kingdom” as guests , now the guests are causing trouble. “Sounds familiar !?”. Amber forms some commandos unit called “The knights of the night” {Stupidest name ever but it is better in Arabic}. 

The 4th night from “Prince Amber and Princess Sukar”

It turns out Amber is a rebel , he heads “The knights of the night” and launch raids against the people of the terror who invaded the neighbor kingdom and got an eye on Amber and Sukar’s kingdom now. It is not only about the raids of Amber and his follow knights because we got the daring radical ideas of Amber that became the talk of the town : He believes at the other of the big blue sea , there is another world ; a new world no one saw before. Amber’s father , the vizier comes and speaks with his son , he is not against the raids but does not like or approve how his son shocks the society with his daring ideas about a new world beyond the big sea despite he thinks it is true yet it is not the right time to shock the world like that. “ Too much light can hurt the eyes of some people”

By the end the old Vizier was killed by “The terror people” and the king appoints Amber as the new vizier despite his the disapproval of the priests.  Amber does want to be a vizier because he wants to avenge for his father and got a daring plan that is different from the king’s plan.

The plan of Amber succeeds but the priests can’t stomach him and his so-called heresy , now after his heroic act some can listen to him and so it is better to hummer the iron while it is hot.

The 5th night from “Prince Amber and Princess Sukar”

The confrontation is hot and the priests wanted to execute Amber for Heresy but the king decided to save him : He has to prove his point , he will take a ship and reaches to that other world beyond the sea. Amber agrees , he gets on a ship and finds out that whenever he plays the flute a whale follows it. Now there is a missing part and we will find ourselves in front of a royal court in the new world where Amber tells its king who the whale saved him.

We can take a lesson or too from these tales for our current time. You will find that Taher Abu Fasha is using live examples about “the neighbors that are attacking King Mansour‘s kingdom” and the priests vs. Amber and the search for the new world plus the ultimate debate of generations

Syrian Revolution : It has reached Damascus at last "Graphic +18"

The Syrian revolution has reached at last Damascus, the Sham revolting after months of the start of the revolution.
Last Friday night Syrian security forces stormed El Rafai Mosque killing not less than 3 and injuring 10s , of course the mosque was stormed and the El Baath regime desecrated the Holy Quran in one of the holist night in the Muslim world , the eve of Ramadan 27th. Here are videos from the mosque.
Here is a video from inside the mosque
Damascus : Inside the Rafai Mosque on August 26th
The Mosque after the attack 
The second video was shot from outside the mosque , you can see its yard and how the security forces and their thugs stormed it.
Damascus : The attack on the mosque on August 26th
Damascus : A security forces thug arrested in the mosque
The Emam of the mosque of the mosque Sheikh Osama El Rafai was beaten and transferred to the hospital. Ironically enough the regime media wanted him to speak and to claim that the militant gangs attacking Syria from no where but he refused to do so. Here is Sheikh Osama in the hospital
Damascus : Sheikh Osama in the hospital 
Yesterday Thursday the security forces were scared literally from protests in the heart of Sham especially there were calls for protests in the Umayyad and the Abbasids squares , the Syrian security forces blocked the ways to both squares where as the Syrian TV aired clips on air for the free protests square all day long !! The ministry of interior called the citizens not to follow the calls for protests from social networks.
Still there were protests all over the country all day long especially now late night and the security forces are doing its usual : cracking them violently. Currently there are violent crack downs for protests in Aleppo , Homs , Daraa and Damascus especially at mosques.
It is not a surprise again for me because we are speaking here about the  Baath regime , already people were killed in mosques in Daraa and we saw  it even in worse ways when Hafez El Assed used to attack mosques with tanks. I remember the first attack on mosques in Syria by the Baath regime was in 1964 in Hama when tanks stormed one of the the old mosques there killing not less than 50 civilian there then in 1965 the Umayyad mosque witnessed another attack by the Arab Syrian Baath army.
Yesterday there was an emergency meeting for  the Arab foreign ministers in the league of Arab states while tens of Syrians were protesting outside the LAS HQ against El Assad in Cairo. The Arab foreign ministers demanded El Assad to cease his fire immediately and to start his reforms ASAP. Unfortunately this statement or demand was the strongest condemnation issued by the LAS and the Arab foreign ministers to an Arab president in the past 10 years. 
The Syrian minister of foreign affairs Walid El Mollama  did not attend unsurprisingly but the envoy of the Syrian delegation to LAS Yousef El Ahmed “the Syrian ambassador to Cairo as well and he seems to be back in town again” spoke on behalf of his regime defending its practices against his own people. Despite the recognition of the Libyan NTC and the new short republic name of Libya are important yet Syria was the main hot topic.
Nabil El Araby , the LAS secretary general whom Syrians attacked outside the HQ in their protest said that :
The events on the real world proved that the uselessness of using violence to deal with political peaceful movements.
El Araby will travel to Damascus to deliver a message to El Assad by the request of the Arab FM council based on the statement issued in the end of the last night meeting. According to the statement the council will be following the updates and development in Syria. The government in Syria rejects the statement and considers that it was not issued at all. Nabil El Araby has a tough mission as now he seems that he will not be welcomed in the country.
Now regarding Ali Ferzat’s condition well from few moments ago , I found a Syrian FB page claims that he is going to have a surgery today and his condition has been deteriorating after the attack.
His official Facebook Fan club page published photo for the Shirt he was wearing during the attack full of blood.

Now there was a cartoon made spread online as it was the first cartoon made by Ali Ferzat while it was not his , the man can’t draw anything now.

There are videos coming from Hama showing allegedly the Shabiha and the security gangs forcing the people there to get the dead bodies of their relatives out of the tombs. The vide is uploaded on August 28th.
Hama : Bringing back the dead from the tombs !!
I do not understand the reason but I assume that the security forces want to get rid from the dead bodies of the as they are the smoking gun to prove that they killed these people. In Latakia the Syrian army used to throw the dead bodies in the sea and to burn them.
Here is a new cartoon from WikiSham making fun from El Assad and his gang

According to Sham Human studies and rights center the latest numbers of injured and killed during the revolution are :
  • 3642 martyr 
  • 278 from them are in Latakia alone "The Ramadan Massacre"
  • 19,650 injured 
  • 23,000 detainees. 
Now the video below is the testimony of a little girl from Hama who recounts how the security forces set the cars on fire and killed the people while Bashar was speaking on TV.
From Latakia: 
Ok videos began to surface from Latakia , from El Raml's massacre on August 14th and 16th.
Now there is something alarming , do you remember late Ola , the young Syrian girl Ola who was killed by the snipers in the city , well guess what they took her dead body from her grave according to that alleged video !!

They are hiding their crimes or rather destroying it !!
Here is another video which is extremely graphic , it was allegedly filmed on August 14th at Raml in Latakia. The man in the video passed away , his name is Ahmed El Sufi. :(

Ali El Salmi : The real shadow PM

Have you noticed lately how much attention is currently being given to  Dr. Ali El Salmi , the current deputy Prime minister for democratic transition issues in the media ?

The news of El Salmi and his activities have actually highlighted more than the news and activities of PM Essam Sharaf in the mainstream media lately in the past 3 weeks to the level I wonder if El Salmi is being prepared to become the next PM.

PM Essam Sharaf’s health is not that good and judging from the cabinet’s reshuffle , the new governors and the last fiasco the Egyptian government’s statement from Sinai “The final official Egyptian stand from Sinai has not been announced yet”, Sharaf is not in control of the show. The show is in the hands of SCAF. Sooner or later he will have to leave especially that he is losing more and more of his popularity.I think that El Salmi is being groomed to become the next PM of Egypt after Sharaf.

The new Supra-constitutional debate or rather the constitutional debates made gain a strong position in the media despite it made him gain new opponents : The Salafists and the Islam group that called him now the “enemy of Islam” !!

Before the revolution El Salmi was the shadow PM of the El Wafd shadow Party cabinet that the Mubarak’s regime media mocked badly , now he seems to be the real shadow PM for me . Like Shara , Ali El Salmi served as a state minister for administrative development “1977-1978” and as as state minister for supervision and follow up “1978-1979”.  He currently owns an international school “I believe it is Smart International School.”

The problem is not X or Y or Z to become the Prime minister in this stage but rather the powers given to the prime minister and his ability to take decisions without returning to SCAF in non national security matters.

Love in time of Revolution

Potential presidential candidate Bothaina Kamel , the first woman presidential candidate married the famous reformist judge and her advisor Ashraf El Baroudi last Thursday night

The potential presidential candidate and long time political activist Kamal called all her followers to attend the marriage ceremony which was held at the Rafai mosque last night Thursday officially on twitter after news in the media began to circulate.

منتظرة اقتراحاتكم لهتاف الليلة و شكولاته لأفضل يافظة مستنية كل حبايبي في مسجد الرفاعي بعد صلاة العشاءless than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® Favorite Retweet Reply

The reformist judge who exposed the elections fraud left on the same day a very romantic tweet really to be seen in our loud intense revolutionary Egyptian twitter universe.

مصر كلها حكاية حب. بنحب بعض في الله وفيها ربنا يسعدكم كلكم ويوعدكم بتحقيق كل احلامكم قادر يا كريم ويهيء لنا من امرنا رشدا.مليون الف شكر.less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® Favorite Retweet Reply

All Egypt is a love story , we love each other for God sake , may God give you all happiness and fulfill your dreams. May God guide us and million thousands thanks.
Of course Egypt is a love story , a big one full of hope especially after the revolution.
The marriage of Kamel and El Baroudi came after one week of another political revolutionary love story : Basma and Amr Hamzawy.
You know Hamzawy of course but you may not know Basma. Basma is a famous actress who started her career as TV host in the Egyptian TV still she got a very interesting political activism background. Basma is the granddaughter of famous Youssef Darwish , the leftist Jew lawyer who converted to Islam  from many decades and also the the daughter of famous feminist mother and journalist father so politics and activism are not strange on Basma at all. Already last year the Mubarak regime unleashed its journalists to attack Basma and speak in a bad way about her Jewish ancestry after announcing her support to Dr. ElBaradei last year if you remember.
The Basma Ahmed and Amr Hamzawy love story was much louder and dramatic than Kamel and El Baroudi. From fours weeks ago I heard news that Ahmed and Hmazawy are an item , I thought it was a rumor but the rumor turned to be a truth when both Basma and Hamzawy were robbed while they were together in 6th of October by unknown thugs.
The robbery was the talk of the town not because the robbery itself because it happened to two political activists and some people believed it was a deliberated message. “I began to believe so especially after the attack on Muslim brotherhood’s members Abu Baraka and El Baltagy in the same way in matter of days”
Of course gossipers found golden opportunity as expected , you got the Basma and Hamzawy’s relation from one side and what happened to Basma from another side. What made things even more worse in my point of view is how Hamzawy denied to have a relation with Basma at first before admitting to the whole world the world that he loves this woman in his column in Shorouk Daily.
For the first time in the history of Egyptian press we find a politician admits his love to a woman in his daily column in this way. Hamazawy wrote “I doubt” admitting and defending his love to Basmaa  and calling her the “Lady of my heart” in front the society.
It was an official and loud confession after denial that many admired , many attacked and many mocked. 
Many admired Hamzawy and how brought his love story with Basma in daylight , many admired his romantic eloquent style. Many mocked it online especially on twitter and made jokes about it. Many attacked for different reasons : it is a late confession after a week of denial, nobody gives damn for them and they are adults, he seemed to be justifying his love to Basma as an actress to the society , his column in Al Shorouk is a political one not for personal issue !!
Of course he it is worth to mention that Hamzawy wrote a part of piece as true Upper Egyptian “oh yes Hamazawy is originally Upper Egypt” whom Basma should thank God that he leaves her and wants to continue his life with her !!
From her side Basma refused to comment about the column saying her private life is a “red line”. Still she and Hamzawy appeared officially later together in Iftar of El Dobara church as an official couple.

Anyhow Back to Kamel Bothaina Kamal was married to current minister of culture Emad Abu Ghazi , they were divorced quietly earlier this year after the revolution. Kamal got one daughter Mariam  from Abu Ghazi while El Baroudi got two boys from another marriage.
To be honest I was not amazed when I heard the news of El Baroudi and Kamal because in the past couple of months I felt that there was mutual admiration between these two over twitter.
Love and marriage are not crimes nor that they are shame that should not been kept in the dark.
I wish all happiness and best luck to Bothaina Kamal/Ashraf El Baroudi and Basma/Amr Hamzawy

Syrian Revolution : The biggest crime in the world “Graphic +18”

Today is the lonely Friday in Ramadan or rather the orphaned Friday in Ramadan or the Patience Friday in Syria. The protests are back at Mosques and squares through out Syria so is the death machine that does not want to stop. The snipers are back on the roof tops , the shabiha are back , the tanks are back but the revolution does not stop and insh Allah it will not stop with all this intimidation. The protesters have one demand now : The people want to execute the president.
The protests are in Daraa, Hauran, Aleppo , Reef Dimshaq, Homs , Hama , Deir ez Zor , Idlib and Damascus along other areas and places.
Damascus : Umbrellas protest
Aleppo : No Iran and No Hezbollah , the people want to execute the president
Homs : Praying for victory
Idilb : The patience protest
Reef Dimshaq : Harasta protest
Deir ez Zor : The people want to execute the president
Daraa : The people hanged the president already
Today also the Syrian tweeps are having a new campaign on twitter to support the revolution : #WakeUPUNSC.
Of course the security crack down is on. Here are couple of videos from Homs , El Qusair where the security forces opened its fires against the protesters
Homs : Security forces open its fire
Homs : Protesters taking shelter
Reef Dimshaq : Gunmen over rooftops
Russia Today is trying to prove that what is taking place in Syria is staged and that all these terrible clips like Youssef El Khatib , baby Layal and all other martyrs through out Syria from north to south are fake !!
Russia Today : Staged Syria !!
Russia Today is repeating the Russian lies in order to stand with the regime and not with the people. Needless to say conspiracy theories websites are repeating this video report as a smoking gun , I can’t accept this because as an Arab I know what happened in 1982 was not fake and what is happening in 2011
There are no traitors in Syria except the regime itself that sold the Golan literally , that has been raping and killing
Russia does not know what is losing foolishly , this is not Egypt that it lost in 1970s because this time insh Allah the Syrian people will not forget how Russia stood with El Assads since 1970s against them , since the 1970s the Syrians have been killed by Russian arms and tanks and they will not forget it. The Russian arms will no longer in Syria insh Allah after this except when the Russian administration apologize to the Syrian people.
Same thing will be applied to China and to Iran.
The attack on famous cartoonist Ali Farzat by the security forces made headlines around the globe. The U.S state department has issued a statement to condemn the attack yesterday. The sad irony is that the DPress News website following the regime claims that he was attacked by these “militant gangs” !! If Damascus got “militant gangs” then this regime can’t protect the country , then it has to leave. It is as simple as that. Farzat was abducted and beaten by masked regime thugs who kept yelling at him while beating to stop insulting his masters !!
Strangely according to Syrian friends the Umayyad Space is full of security whether under covered or not. In the official report the Syrian police could not arrest or stop the attack , in the unofficial report the police knew what was going on and did not remove a muscle which is unsurprisingly unfortunately in Syria.
Many people around the globe have been introduced to his cartoons and visited his official website, the thing which led the site to crash from time to time as I expected.
His condition is painful , I do not think Farzat will draw any cartoons sooner but his previous work is enough.

Here is a video clip from the hospital where Farzat was transferred that was exclusively aired on Al Arabiya.
Damascus : Ali Farzat in hospital
Here is Farzat’s before the attack.
Ali Fazrat before the attack
Here is the last cartoon he made in his website.

I think he was attacked because of the cartoon about Qaddafi and El Assad JR. I saw it some where, I will try to find it and post it here. Updated : Here is the cartoon.
Auto Stop
Now moving from Mr. Farzat whom I wish that the first cartoon he will draw soon insh Allah will be a cartoon about ousted president Bashar El Assad and free Syria , the free great Syria.
Egyptian cartoonists reacted to the attack
Here is Ahmed Nady
El Assad : Draw me beautiful
Ali Fazrat : This pen did not beautify your father and
it will not beautify a slayer like you 
and here is Yara Kassem

Now the following clips below are extremely graphic , they were allegedly shot in Hama on August 4th, 2011 during the horrible massacre of Hama 2. If you remember there were rumors that babies were killed in the neonatal unit in El Assad hospital in Hama due to the electricity cut and we could not know if these rumors were true or not especially electricity and communications were cut from the city during that time. Unfortunately the rumors were true and 6 babies died due to the electricity in the city.
The following footage  are extremely horrible , if you can’t watch please do not.
Hama : Babies died due to the electricity cut in neonatal unit
Hama : 6 babies died due to the electricity cut in neonatal unit
Hama : 6 babies died due to the electricity cut in neonatal unit
I do not know where they were buried.
The Syrian authorities are still detaining children from protests , are still abducting children from their families to punish and blackmail their fathers. Here is a Facebook group made for 15 years old Nour Dandashi from Talkalah who was arrested in his home town on August 19,2011.
Now the Libyans in London did not forget Syria , here is the Syrian flag besides the Libyan at the embassy of Libya there. “By Iman Bazzi
